Hungarian Folk Tales: A Fox Seek Shelter

Overview

A sly fox takes advantage of the well-meaning people. He asks a farmer to permit him to stay overnight, and he tells the man that there is a goose in his sack, although it is only a rooster. He eats the rooster at night, and raises hell in the morning, saying that his goose had been stolen. To make up for the loss, the farmer gives him a goose. The fox repeats this trick several times.
